Mount Olive Station is a New Jersey Transit station in Mount Olive, New Jersey, located in the International Trade Center. The station, located on the side of Waterloo Village Road, services trains for both the Montclair-Boonton Line and the Morristown Line along trackage owned by Norfolk Southern. The line is not electrified from Hackettstown to Dover, where passengers can transfer to an electric Morristown Line train via Summit or a diesel Montclair-Boonton train via Wayne and Montclair. Trains along both lines head to Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey or New York Pennsylvania Station at 34th Street in New York City, although Montclair-Boonton trains require a transfer at Montclair State University Station at Little Falls for electrified service to New York.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Waterloo station site, 2008

Originally, trains along both lines terminated at Netcong Station in Netcong. In 1994, stations were constructed along Norfolk Southern's Washington Secondary (to Washington) at Mount Olive and Hackettstown, extending the line into Warren County and providing rail service to the International Trade Center (ITC) along with tourist attraction, Waterloo Village. Service took effect on November 5, 1994 from Netcong to Hackettstown.[2] The Washington Secondary was the original alignment of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Main Line via Washington and Portland, Pennsylvania.[3] Near Mount Olive station was once the Waterloo station, named after local Waterloo, New Jersey. Waterloo station was first built in 1854[4] and remained in service until being replaced by a crude shelter in the 1920s. In 1946, this shelter burned down and as a result, was the only regular stop that did not have a structure to service passengers.[5]
